...Wade concurred with Dr. Travell's diagnosis of an ordinary lumbosacral strain, unconnected with the President's old, nearly fatal spinal fusion. But back in New York, Wade parried a reporter's query with the words: "I don't want you to finish your question. I don't want to say a thing about it." All of which left it pretty much up to the U.S. to make its own judgments about the President's health-and the nation could hardly be happy about what it saw. A "cherry picker" elevator was used...
